Smitty bainsey wrote"Cadillac"? I was confused about that as well. At first I thought he was in 2-man, but then he mentioned the U2. I haven't heard the term Cadillac used in 100 years, and never in 3-man. There's a lot about that whole scenario, as written, that seems "messy".

There's a lot about that whole scenario, as written, that seems "messy". From the very first time I stepped on the court for a 3-man crew the Cadillac position refers to the Lead and Trail being tableside and the Center opposite table. I've never known any other definition.

I've never known any other definition. I have never heard it used re 3. Only in two, meaning both officials on their respective left side of the court.

JugglingReferee A coach need not be quality control for officials' intra-communication errors. Having certain players perform specialized tasks is a completely valid coaching strategy, and should be expected at higher levels. I'm going to let A1 back in.
Nevadaref derwil wroteHad this one last night: Foul on Team A on a drive to B1 just outside the three point line. I have the whistle from T and indicate ball to the sideline.

However, the calling official clearly indicated that the ensuing throw-in would be on the sideline immediately following the foul, so the coach should be expected to see that and make his strategy decisions based upon it.
tomegun Mississippi used the "Cadillac" positioning for three-man as recently as the 2006-2007 season. I was thoroughly confused by this during my first scrimmage. Thankfully, the powers that be saw the light the next season.
